Yes, if you use JBuilder 2.

Because Sun didn't provide a constructor for setting all properties
until JDK 1.2. Such a constructor is necessary for a "beans" tool
(which the designer is) to set a property via
propertyEditor.getJavaInitializationString(). Note that
GridBagConstraints was the _only_ java.awt. "struct" class which
didn't have one - Point, Rectangle, Dimension, Font etc. all provided
such a constructor.

Well, you could just extract that particular class from jbcl20.jar into
a separate archive and add it as a library "JBuilder Designer
Requirements" or something. For simplicity, you may also want to add
XYLayout and XYConstraints.
